52 Week High/Low:
69.85 - 90.50

My Recommendation:
I would recommend buying this stock. The Nike sock is a very good stock to have. It is very big in North America and it is on the cutting edge of sporting goods. The one flaw of Nike is that it has a lot of competitors that are very well known. Nike has a higher P/E Ratio than some of its competitors. The Nike stock chart shows a slight decrease but its not much. The current price of the Nike stock is 87.23. This is very close to the 52 week high.

My Recommendation:
I would not recommend buying this stock. Sprint does not have a P/E ratio, which means that this stock doesn't make a profit. The stock graph shows that the price of the stock is very low. It shows that the stock isn't worth much right now. So if you would buy this stock and then try and sell it to make a profit, you wouldn't make much money. The current price is 5.80. This is very low compared to the 52 week high/low.
